That is good news then. Although idk if you can compare her to the asian girls, asian girls are lucky in that they can develop into their grown up bodies without gaining a lot of weight. Yuna Kim does not have a little kids body but she is 5'5" and only weighs 103 pounds. Alena and Irina do look different then Shelepen in those videos, though both are quite thin
(not as thin as Shelepen though) and their bodies changed a lot in the years following those videos. Alena Leonova is also pretty tall, 5'5" or so, while Irina was pretty short. Shelepen might stay tall and thin but it is hard to tell

Yeah, but if you look at Irina Slutskaya and Alena Leonova they probably were really skinny as kids like Polina but can still do all the hard jumps with grown up, athletic bodies. It might not be a big deal

That's my point though (though they don't really have the same body type, anyway) -- they had good technique. Shelepen has iffy technique, and if she doesn't fix it, the problems it creates (which you could already see here) are going to magnify if her body changes at all.

Yeah, I suppose your right. Polina's legs are so long that it wouldn't surprise me if she ended up being built like Carolina Kostner (that tall). And if she does, her jumps will probably become very inconsistent like Kostner
